Synopsis

When a property developer sets his sights on the Arctic, polar bear Norm is not too happy about the prospect of having human neighbours. Keen to halt the scheme in its tracks, he hitches a ride back to the developer’s offices in New York, along with some lemmings that are eager to help. Finding himself in the middle of a big city, Norm begins to enjoy himself as he makes friends with people who think he’s an actor in a bear suit. Will the lemmings be able to get him back into action and prevent the destruction of their natural habitat? An animated adventure about the importance of protecting the environment.

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
